Flash "External Preloader" not working

[RazethAnimation]

Hey all!

I've been trying to figure this issue out for a while now, using multiple different preloaders, even the one Adobe provides, and get some slightly varied, but no luck.

I have a flash file hosted on google sites, that I am trying to preload with another flash entirely, and it seems to not be working in many cases.

The examples I will show you are my results from using the built in, external preloader provided by Adobe.

This is the code:

var contentLoader:Loader;

loadContent("website.swf");

function loadContent(url:String):void {

    contentLoader = new Loader();

    contentLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loading);

    contentLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, contentLoaded);

    contentLoader.load(new URLRequest(url));

}

function contentLoaded(evt:Event):void {

    //Optionally change to a clip holder and set progressbar visibility.

    addChild(contentLoader);

}

function loading(evt:ProgressEvent):void {

    var loaded:Number = evt.bytesLoaded / evt.bytesTotal;

    setBarProgress(loaded);

}

function setBarProgress(value:Number) {

    progressbar.bar.scaleX = value;

}

Now for my results:

When testing in Firefox and Chrome:

No issues, all preloaders I have tried work in Firefox without an issue.

When testing in Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer:

The flash refuses to load and the loading bar breaks.

With some other templates, I couldn't get chrome to work. I have had 100% success with Firefox only.

I am running the latest version of Flash Player, and this same issue happens with other users.

I would like to know if anyone knows why this happens, and how I can fix it, as many users will be seeing this, and for those that use Edge or IE, I would like this working.

what's the url to your html that embeds the swf with the code you showed?

While the original link contains mature content, this link is a placeholder that will work the exact same:

i don't see that loading anything.  in addition, that's not a link to an embedding html.

I"m not trying to load html, I'm trying to preload another flash.

you should have an html page that's embedding your main (the one with the preloader) swf.

and i don't see https://6b2164c4-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/razanimresources/RazzleWiggleTestAnimation... loading another swf.
